Ahh yeah, 3k...

Like most idiot Cowboys band wagon fans who thought Garrett was responsible for the offense’s success in 2007, you’re making the same assumption without even truly watching the guy coach. ‘Fans’ only know about Garrett what they read and are told on BSPN. What you failed to mention in your post is that Tony Sporano was calling many of the plays and formations in 2007 and that had a lot to do with the success the Red Headed Genius experienced.

Sporano had been a successful offensive coordinator with the Cowboys the two previous seasons and without him there in ‘08, Garrett really regressed, it was evident in his play calling and his inability to adjust to ’complex’ defensive schemes.

You say he was groomed but by whom? Sporano is gone. Groomed by Jerry? Certainly not Wade. You say polished, how so? He was the Dolphins’ qb coach in 2006 and was a back up his entire career. Intelligent, yes, but where did Brian Billick’s intelligence land him, he’s broadcasting games with the likes of Brian Baldinger and some dude with down syndrome. You say he is creative? Come on creative, we’re talking about creativity here. Garrett wouldn’t know creative if it walked up and slapped him upside that red head of his. You obviously never watched a down of Cowboys’ football if you think Garrett has an ounce of creativity in his genes. The dude was called out by his QB and top WR, "It took us three quarters to understand what the defense was doing". Oh yeah, he was also called about by Pitt and Balt for his vanilla offense. Creative, lol. Creative is down somewhere in Miami coming up with the Wildcat part deaux.

The Dallas fanbase was split on Garrett, to say the entiere fanbase was in favor of firing Wade and promoting Garrett is inane.

I wouldn’t wish Garrett on any of the Cowboys fiercest rivals. Nah, not even they deserve that. Garrett belongs with the other dregs of the NFL, only the Lions and Rams smartened up. So he’s back next year as one of Werder’s ‘cowards, calling draws from three receiver sets and getting befuddled by Jim Haslett’s ’complex" defense.

I feel like I've been here before....

A teenage boy with a sprit inside
Of a Samurai warrior who long ago died.
Now he's O....O....O....O Oshikuru!
O....O....O....O Oshikuru!
My oh My he's a demon Samurai
Who's the guy who had to die.......Oshikuru!

So do you think Garrett is a great coach or greatest ever?

Jay Zygmunt, now that you have fired yourself, please have yourself hired by Seattle. Thanks.

BTW...

Congrats on the hiring.
